Sony was the first company to come out with a thin laptop that could fit in a manila envelope. In fact, it was thinner than the Mac Air, and it came out a year or two before it.

I think Yoda was talking about type T or G.
And it's not so surprise to hear since both of them might be made lab in Taiwan. I mean, don't you really believe that apple have capability to develop the hardware, right ?]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/
The LG X300 comes with LG’s Smart Pack software which is designed to synchronize your smartphone to the netbook via Bluetooth, which means you can read and reply to your text message directly from the netbook.

aa ok, Lux guy is correct. X505 is the one.

and both of them(X505 was in 2004, TypeT was in 2007) were sold on the market before apple release Macbook air (2008). This kind of concept about ultra thin laptop has exited far before Jobs cam up with it.]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/
I found good video about X505 on youtube. so you can see it by your eyes. I was bit impressed actually by the fact it's already on the market in 2004.

dunno. I'm not owner of this kind of ultra thin laptop. But it seems to me not x505 specific issue due to the fact that keyboard on air and 505 looks very similar. I thought that kind of keyboard is originally from apple, but it is actually not ??? ]]>Jan 20th 2010 4:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/Jan 20th 2010 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/

I didn't get it at first, either- bad quality, etc.

But this is how it goes-
envelope.
MBA-sized notebook
slip- a small notebook comes out of what turns out to be a case.

Thus implying that LG's notebook is slimmer than the MBA.

Get it?
They're not pulling THEIR laptop out of the envelope.
they're pulling what looks like a MBP- but it's a case for the actual laptop, thus showing that their laptop is thinner.

I don't know how I can put it into other words. ]]>Jan 20th 2010 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/

THey actually had me at "Oh, haha haha, that's funny" until the voice at the end ruined it. Basically, they're redoing a 2 year ad that was seldom run anyway, and one that no one remembered, but geeks. It's thin, and I get the point, but as a comparison to the MBA ad, it doesn't show that it's specifically thinner, just "amazing" … I mean, watching both ads you can't exactly just measure size like that, except the MBA ad ends with "world's thinnest notebook." Also, beside the point, but the LG ad goes to fast.]]>Jan 20th 2010 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/Jan 20th 2010 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/lgs-x300-ad-strikes-an-amazingly-familar-tone/If it had been me...
